A goodbye means that someone’s departing: you say goodbye to your parents when you go off to college, and you also say goodbye to guests when they leave after a visit. The original goodbye, dating from the 1570s, was godbwye, which was a contraction of the farewell phrase “God be with ye!”
Recently had a drink with a few friends from high school days and wonder…?
Will this be the last time I see any of them?
No one feels this will be the last ‘good-bye’, but you never know.
A couple of work associates died over the weekend and I removed them from my social media list (for they will not respond anymore). When was the last time I spoke to them? When was the last time we talked? Did we ever say, “Good-bye”
Most people you visit regularly, you expect to see again soon. Bidding “Good-bye” at the door is only a temporary message, until you read the obituary.
At a certain age, there are more obituaries than “Until then”. Reality.
You expect to see your children and your grandchildren again next weekend, but your friends are fading away.
Maybe the next time you part, give that extra hug and wish ‘Happy Trails’. See you on the next side?
Make sure you make the credits.
